Does the D2 have front wheel bearings?
I have a pretty bad high pitch screeching sound (sounds like crickets) coming from the middle of the truck. The screeching noise is very inconsistent. I cannot isolated to 1 side or the other. Having it towed now to my dads shop to diagnose.
Going to drain diff fluid to see if I have water mixed in. Not sure how it could of got in there. However, I was in some pretty deep water over the weekend.
Ideas thoughts on where to start Looking for the sound?

Okay removed front prop shaft. Locked CDL and went for a drive. NO more screeching noise!!
Now, what part has failed? The propshaft or the front output flange/bearing on the t case.
The driveshaft was rebuilt back in November of last year. Could it have failed? Visually, it looks good and solid. There is no play in the joints, but I do hear a slight scratching noise coming from the centering ball area. Plus, it looks like the area around the ball is dry, no grease. Could this have failed?
I would hate to spend the cash buy a new prop shaft just to find out the original is still good.
Thoughts on how to diagnose the issue further???
